I'm finishing my second re-watch of Downton Abbey (just the tv show, haven't gotten to the movies yet) and I'm still not a fan of Mary.
You might have seen another post I made with a poll about her suitors, which made me realize she had quite a few men who were head over heels for her, even though to me it didn't seem like they actually knew her (yet were so quick to propose). This got me thinking about what do men see in Mary ?
She's beautiful, no doubt about that, comes from a good family, can conduct herself in society, but she's also cold, kinda obnoxious, so mean (especially to her sister) and kinda full of herself. Or at least that's how I see her.
To me her appearance is attractive but not her personality. But then again they didn't really know each other, so may be what they knew was enough to "love" her ?
What's your opinion on the matter ?
